Carnada Viva

BANDITS is a socially conscious, artist-driven band of outlaws on a mission to build a better bandana! From farm to forehead, they build their bandanas better by adhering to 3 core principles:

1. Originality - Their bandanas feature original, never-before-seen designs created by artists from all over the world
2. Charity - For every bandana they sell, they donate 10% of proceeds to a charity of the artist’s choosing. Since they've launched, they've proudly donated over $112,000 to incredible artist-chosen organizations across the globe!
3. Conscious Quality - Their bandanas are Fair-Trade Certified and handmade from sustainably-sourced, ultra soft, 100% Organic Cotton.

:: Artist: Alan Berry Rhys (Buenos Aires, Argentina)

Alan's favorite place to watch the sunset is aboard a boat, beer in hand, fishing on the Parana river in his native Argentina. That experience inspires “Carnada Viva” (“Live Bait” in English), which draws on the mythology of the river and the tropical forest that surrounds it. Alan’s design, and much of his work, emulates the hand-painted billboards of the bait shops that dot the river valley. The bright colors, the tactile feelings, and the generations of stories conveyed by these signs are evident in Alan’s work, and make it shine with a unmatched vibrant energy that is quintessentially Argentinian.

:: Charity: Mundo Aparte Rosario.

Started in 2001 Mundo Aparte is a non-profit park dedicated exclusively to protecting and rehabilitating endangered, abused, sick, or injured wild animals. The organization also works to fight ecological injustice, and contributes to raising greater environmental awareness in Argentina.
